One of the best, economical restaurant in Pune. Good service, authentic South Indian and North Indian food. It open till 11:30 PM at night, ever get fresh and tasty veg food here.
Very reasonable price for impeccable taste. Modern spl. dosa is a must try along with their iconic filter coffee. And this place crowds up quickly especially on weekends.
One of my all time fev restaurants in the Pune city area. It’s been more than 2 decades now and still the quality, taste, service and vibe is consistent.
An upscale restaurant near COEP hostel. It is spacious and has parking options. Food is really tasty and presentable. We had lunch here and it was an amazing experience.
Modern Cafe has a good standard for its service, staff, and food quality. It's not wrong for me to say that it's one of the best restaurants at affordable cost. I like its South Indian food quality, and the sambar is just perfect!!! I have been to a few more expensive restaurants, and in my opinion, Modern Cafe beat them with it's food quality and service. It is the first restaurant that actually gave proper handwash to wash your hands. I will definitely visit them again when the opportunity arises.
One of the oldest and goldest restaurant.. Visiting this restaurant since 80's. The best South Indian \ Udapi restaurant.. Best Veg Restaurant... Price and Taste are ultimate... Super soft and hot idlis... after bite it dissolves bit by bit !! Must eat ... Medu Vadas... hands down.. too good.. Don't forget to visit Bamboo House(same owner) for Nov Veg Delicacies 👌👌😋😋
Good restaurant in central place of Shivajinagar St the starting of JM road near pashnakar auto showroom. Typical south indian dishes of all variety. Lunch and dinner with Punjabi dishes are also available. Normally you get the place on any day of week. It's almost never Crowded. Average ambience. Fast service and good quality food. Rates are reasonable. Recommend for quite bite.
Visited this iconic place to have pav bhaji, masala pav along with coffee. Pav bhaji was very tasty unlike other hotels where they mix dal in bhaji. Here, bhaji was made up of vegetables only. Also, masala pav was flavourful. Pav served with pav bhaji was very soft loaded with butter. Coffee is a must try here. Typical south Indian coffee you will get here. Service was bit slow considering that the place is always crowded. Overall, must visit place for a vegetarian.
I'm the biggest fan of this place. Must try cassata sundae one of my favorite dessert. And also it is famous for south Indian dishes like dosa, idli and all.... Prices are also affordable... I had one the biggest dosa in my life here. Everytime I visit here experience is awsome. Don't worry about ur vehicle also, they've their separate area for parking... Visit once to have good time with ur buddies.
Ahhaa. Just Awesome. It proves its name. If you want to feel the proper old type hotel , then you must visit it. You have quite a wait for your order. It's always crowded with Official Workers. Food is awesome. Delicious ✌️ And a big part is they have their own parking.
